Responsibilities of Riparian Owners The Parish Council is having regular meetings with the principal drainage engineer for North Somerset and he has raised the question of the responsibilities of 'riparian' owners. A riparian owner is someone whose garden or land adjoins a watercourse (stream or culvert). Check and ensure, on a regular basis, that the watercourse is not obstructed. Not to tip grass cuttings and other garden waste into the watercourse. Not to leave anything too close to the water's edge because, in a flooding situation, this might be swept away and block culverts further down stream. If you have a gridded manhole cover in your garden do not cover it with plant containers. Keep all structures clear of debris. A 'structure’ would be classified as a culvert, trash screen, weir or mill gates. Keep the watercourse clear of vegetation at all times. It is felt that if all riparian owners act on the six points above, a significant cause of local flooding and the distress it causes, could be avoided. |
